anybody try HEVI-SHOT classic double ammo?

I have read a lot about the Longshot. Sounds like great stuff. Will have to give it a try when my son John is old enough to shoot the ducks.
 
Bob,I used the same powder for my 12ga load of 11/4oz Bizmuth 5s.AA 2/34" hull,win R12 wad and 30gr of Longshot.Fed primer for 1300fps
 
i took some pics of the gun last night and hope to have them on some time sunday. the wood looks wicked in one of the pics.

and i'll try to get some shooting in tomorrow after im done deer hunting, didnt have time tonight by the time i get out of work its almost dark and i needed to hang a stand so i dont have to bring it in tomorrow morning.

cant wait, a day old scrape 20 yrds from my stand. i but buck bomb and 69 all over the place hope it works

macks has classic double available in 12,20 gauge 3, 2 3/4" at1300 and 1250 fps in #4,5,6 shot (1-1/4,1-1/8) 12 gauge (1, 7/8)-20 gauge oz of shot from $26.99 to $31.99.

if i can order some what should i get. im only buying one box cause i wont have many days where i can use that gun during this season.

the 2 3/4 #5 shot at 1-1/8oz at 1250fps should be fine right?

thanks

Ed,I would go for the 23/4" of 5s for the Fox you were talking about.Get 11/4 oz unless the 23/4 are only 11/8.Good luck.
 
I think I'd go for the 6's. The hevis stuff will give you the weight..the 6's will give you a real bee-hive of a pattern. My experience with hevi is.....half the bb's are smaller and half are bigger than the advertised size. Just sifted 10lbs of 6's and that's about what I ended up with. 5's would be great for geese though.
 
finally got some pics of my fox this weekend

barrels are nice and dark though. im so pleased with this gun. im gonna order one box of hevi classic some time this week so maybe i can kill some ducks with charlie after thanksgiving.

Ed,
Sweet looking gun and even nicer Decoys. I think you have a winner. That is nice figure in the butt stock. Keep us posted on your hunt and I will try to call Mr Kidd again this week. If you get to shoot a GE or Park Duck with that thing this year I think you may just have to do a stump dance. Good luck with the deer as well.
